I mean, small things like that add up, you want your stack as optimized as possible

A quarter of a second here, another quarter there, and suddenly it might take 2 seconds longer for a connection to form, which matters a ton. A lot of work in the modern web is going into reducing latency

Honestly, if you read the manual you are very much not dumb

HDR is actually pretty cool, at least when you got a proper HDR display such as an OLED screen

You need to really specify what is meant by “AI” here. Chances are it’s probably some form of smart traffic lights to improve traffic flow. Which is not all that special. It has nothing to do with LLMs

Don’t want to be the cause of a CVE now, do we?

I’ve had more windows updates breaking stuff than I had arch updates breaking stuff, that’s for sure. I think it’s frankly laughable that a paid OS has problems such as that.

The funny thing is, I feel like I have to maintain my arch system less than Windows

Marriage is a legal institution codified into law, so… Yes. Especially when it comes to who gets to marry and how.

FOSS is political.

Then, at your new job, you see garbage code and wonder what dumbass would put global variables everywhere

…that they ask you to actually pay for the privilege. Because remember, windows isn’t actually free (and you pay for it if you buy a pre-built).

In the end, a subscription service ensures your incentives align, even if you need to pay for it.

I mean, it’s a learning experience which is nice

And also there’s archinstall now, if you just want it to work.

It got its reputation probably because it’s a very minimalist distro by default, and you can configure everything.

It’s perfect once you set it up to your liking, but it does give you a proverbial gun you can shoot your foot with.

They both serve different purposes

KDE Plasma does its versioning to follow QT versioning, which does its versioning in that way to signify API breaks.

But for something else like, say, the Linux kernel, which does not break compatibility in that manner, date-based would make more sense.

What about windows 2000

There’s coreCTRL for AMD and apparently nvidia-setting for Nvidia?

AMD GPUs got more tools due to them being open source, while Nvidia’s isn’t and you are beholden to Nvidia bothering to implement support, which they often don’t.

Also, idk if I would call fan curves that basic, haha. For the vast majority the default curve is sufficient.
